Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to determine if OSI-774 (Tarceva) is effective in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and to further study its side effects. The investigators would also like to estimate disease-related symptom improvement rates using a questionnaire.
To evaluate the safety of NY-ESO-1 Plasmid DNA (pPJV7611) Cancer Vaccine given by particle-mediated epidermal delivery (PMED) in patients with tumor types known to express NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1.
The guidelines and institutional practices recommended more frequent visits the two years following curative-intent therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).No international consensus is published concerning follow-up of resected NSCLC patients.Recent studies have outlined that positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be accurate in early detection of recurrences by comparison to computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to compare follow-up by conventional methods versus PET. Patients are randomly assigned to two arms. In the first arm, thorax CT with liver and adrenal gland sections, abdominal ultrasonography and nuclear bone scintigraphy are performed every 6 months after surgery for two years. In the second arm, PET scanning is only. For brain metastasis detection, CT is performed in the two arms. Recurrences are detected during scheduled or unscheduled procedure in asymptomatic patients. PET and CT are interpreted separately by two nuclear physicians and two radiologists. The direct cost of follow-up procedure is determined in the two groups. The calculated sample is composed of 60 patients in each arm to detect significant difference. The Ethics Committee of Universitary Hospital of Limoges approves the study.
Management of lung cancer remains very controversial for elderly patients (pts) and they are often excluded from clinical trials. We present here a survey performed about the management of lung cancer pts aged 70 or more in France. All pts aged 70 or more with histo/cytologically proved lung cancer diagnosed between sept 02 and oct 03 in participating centers were recorded and their characteristics, the diagnostic procedures, therapeutic management and survival were analysed.
Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancers comprising a mediastinal ganglionic invasion N2 account for 20 to 30% of the NSCLCs. They are almost always potentially resectable, but the results obtained by surgery alone or surgery followed by chemotherapy (CT) and/or radiotherapy (RT) are insufficient. The neoadjuvant approach was tested, in randomized tests of exclusive CT, or in noncomparative tests of RT-CT.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the response rate of patients with non small lung cancer to gemcitabine in combination with radiotherapy. The tolerability and safety of this combination will also be evaluated.
The main purpose of this study of pemetrexed combined with cisplatin used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2 or 3 cycles) in participants with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is to look at various genes present in participants' blood and tumor tissue to see if there is any link between the levels or changes in the genes and how participants with lung cancer respond to pemetrexed and cisplatin treatment.
To investigate efficacy and safety of pemetrexed as second or third line therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
To assess the 2 year survival of patients with Stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer receiving consolidation gemcitabine or gemcitabine plus docetaxel following concurrent chemotherapy and radiation.
Preoperative chemotherapy is considered to play a role in early stage non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) .The use of preoperative Cisplatin/Gemcitabine chemotherapy has proven feasible and without excessive morbidity or mortality in the Phase II setting. The aim of the present Phase III study is to determine whether 3 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy with Cisplatin/Gemcitabine improves progression free survival of NSCLC patients versus surgery alone. Postoperative chemotherapy will not be utilized in this Phase III trial.
